The New Instagram Layout Includes Larger Photographs

Launched yesterday, the new Instagram layout has social media fans buzzing over its more minimalist look and larger photo displays. Borrowing from understated sites like Tumblr -- a popular platform for alternative musicians and digital artists -- the new Instagram layout appears much more simplistic than its original design.

Boasting the most low key of layouts -- an all-white backdrop that is accented with the site's signature logo -- the photo-sharing platform's newest re-design is sure to be a hit among its aesthetics-focused subscribers who are looking for more freedom when it comes to branding.

Proving that less is often more, the new Instagram layout creates a collage of members' photos, resulting in pages that resemble blogs or micro websites rather than traditional social media profiles.
